David Hears of Saul`s Death...

And it came to be after the death of Sha`ul, when Dawid had returned from smiting the Amaleqites, that Dawid remained two days in Tsiqlag.

And it came to be on the third day, that see, a man came out of the camp from Sha'ul with his garments torn and dust on his head. And it came to be, when he came to Dawid, that he fell to the ground and did obeisance.

And Dawid said to him, 'From where do you come?' And he said to him, 'I have escaped from the camp of Yisra'el.'

And Dawid said to him, 'What was the matter? Please inform me.' And he said, 'The people have fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Sha'ul and Yehonathan his son are dead too.'

'And when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me, and I answered, 'Here I am.'

'And he said to me, 'Who are you?' So I answered him, 'I am an Amaleqite.'

'And he said to me, 'Please stand over me and put me to death, for agony has seized me, but my life is still in me.'

'So I stood beside him and put him to death, for I knew he would not live after he had fallen. And I took the diadem that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my master.'
